The Galaxy

The Galaxy, known also as the Skyriver Galaxy or Gala Celestia was one of the billions of galaxies that existed in the Universe. It was composed of some four hundred billion stars in a disk 120,000 light-years in diameter. There were approximately a trillion planets in the Galaxy. It was orbited by seven smaller satellite galaxies.

The Galaxy was home to countless sentient species and star systems. The galaxy would serve as the setting for trade, politics, and war throughout galactic history. It would see the successive eras of the Celestial Empires, Rakatan Empires, Galactic Republic, Sith Empire, Galactic Empire, New Republic, Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, Yuuzhan Vong Empire, First Order, and others, and was home to the Force-using orders of the Jedi and Sith.
